"Fashon is the abortive issue of vain ostentation and exclusive egotism: it is haughty, trifling, affected, servile, despotic, mean and ambitious, precise and fantastical, all in a breath — tied to no rule, and bound to conform to every whim of the minute." -William Hazlitt

"The key to longevity is to keep doing what you do better than anyone else. We work real hard at that. It's about getting your message out to the consumer. It's about getting their trust, but also getting them excited, again and again. My clothes.. the clothes we make for the runway.. aren't concepts. They go into stores. Our stores. Thankfully, we have lots of them." - Ralph Lauren

Coco Chanel is back AGAIN

Anna Mouglalis, Karl Lagerfeld's muse for Chanel, portrays Coco Chanel in “Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky,” a recent film about Chanel's life that is in theaters now. The film is based on the novel CoCo Chanel & Igor Stravinsky by Chris Greenhalgh.

The film directed by Jan Kounen, “Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky” focuses on a sad chapter in the Coco Chanel's life. She had a ill-fated 1920 love affair with revolutionary composer Igor Stravinsky, then married with four children.

According to Lagerfeld, the project is beneath his beloved spokesmodel. ''Anna followed all the instructions from her director for this ‘character,'" he says. ''But this role has no relation to her talent for other roles.'' (Although, it seems Lagerfeld can’t be too miffed — he contributed costumes to the film and also allowed shooting in the Chanel salon.)" (WWD)
